Parents: Unknown teen snuck into daughter’s room

Oakland County sheriff’s deputies are investigating a report of a home invasion after a 12-year-old girl woke up around 3:30 a.m. Saturday to find an unknown person standing at the foot of her bed. Deputies arrived after the report to the 3700 block of Chesnut, in the Sashabaw Meadows Mobile Home Park, to investigate.

The homeowners believe a teenager wearing dark baggy pants and a dark shirt crawled into their daughter’s bedroom through a window, and left when the girl woke up and saw him, they told investigators. A sheriff’s tracking dog was brought to the scene, and picked up a scent but lost it shortly after.

The WDIV report said that the girl’s father grabbed a baseball bat and tried to chase after the suspect, who had used a plastic play set to get into the window despite the girl’s father having packed everything away in a shed.

Later, the 50-year-old told detectives that two homeless people living in the woods near DTE Energy Music Theatre told him the home was abandoned. The suspect was taken to the Oakland County Jail pending arraignment.

Bond violators in narcotics case questioned

Two Pontiac residents who police stopped at around 3 a.m. Monday and identified as co-defendants in a narcotics case were questioned by authorities because their bonds stipulated they not be in contact, deputies say. Investigators from the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office were contacted when Metamora Township police stopped a 24-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman driving near the county line at Lapeer and Davison Lake roads and learned they were out on bond for a 50th District Court case out of Pontiac involving felony narcotics. A drug tracking dog brought to the traffic stop by deputies did not find any drugs in the car. The detective in charge of the pending court case was notified of the bond violation.
